I just got my surgery date



Recommended Posts

My name is Joe and I'm scheduled for surgery here in Michigan at Henry Ford on March 4. Up till now I have gone back and forth weather to have the RNY or the Sleeve. At my last appointment I told my surgeon I wanted the RNY. I never really felt comfortable with that, I had been lurking here and at RNY Talk, well yesterday I changed my mind and decided to go with the Sleeve. My Dr. never really pushed me one way or the other except to say that you can expect to loose more weight with the RNY. With all the extra trauma to your body and the extra after care, ect... I just feel more comfortable with the Sleeve, I hope I'm making the right decision I figure this is my chance and I don't want to blow it

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
